If you are using Twitter as a tool for your business, you want to ensure that your experience with Twitter is a successful one.  Twitter is great for networking, gaining new clients and business partners.  I have a set of 50 Tips to help you make your Twitter experience a success.

Below are tips 1-5.

1. Network with notable business associates, competitors, and peers. You don’t have to only befriend every individual you can that requests you or vice versa on Twitter. Rather, pick out your networking buddies carefully. Look out for fellow executives or business owners who work within your specific niche. Then, follow their progress, look for advice, and of course, throw in some of your own ideas and suggestions as well. By befriending others who are in the same line of work as you, you’ll be able to get an insider’s look at how their successes compare to yours.

2. Give your audience updates fairly regularly, but don’t over load them. A lot of people are most likely interested in what you have to say, otherwise they probably wouldn’t have added you to begin with. This means you should be updating them on a fairly regular basis. This enables them to keep up with what’s happening in your world or your business’ world. On the other hand, you don’t want to overload people so much that the feel of your Twitter site feels “spammy” and they turn away and unfollow you. Try to keep up the balance between good updating and overwhelming people with insignificant updates.

3. I recommend that you use Twitterfeed to help people stay updated. Twitterfeed is fundamentally the website’s answer to an RSS feed. It’s a great way to automatically keep your followers updated without them having to check your page too often. It also allows things to be updated on their own, so you don’t have to spend extra time telling everyone you have updated; as it’s all done for you.

4. Use Twitter at conferences and trade shows. When you’re out and about networking in the REAL world. Don’t forget to use Twitter then as an chance to update your customers and peers on what you’re seeing and doing. This shows them that you’re being proactive and it can be a lot of fun as well. You can give them updates about funny things you might be seeing at the trade show, or maybe inform them of an interesting vendor you’ve hooked up with. By sharing your experiences as you go along, you’re garnering more interest in what is happening with your business.

5. Keep an eye on what people are saying. Don’t forget that Twitter, like any other virtual conversation, is a two-way street. Pay attention to what other members are saying, and see if they’re Twittering about you. If they are, you might want to use that as an opportunity to either thank them for a nice compliment, or to make good if they are posting a complaint. Remember that you’re never 100% safe from someone who might try to talk negatively about you, your business, your website, or anything else on Twitter.  Be sure to use this to your advantage in a diplomatically way.
